Difusión y Transferencia


Gender Gap in STEM
- 2023 Panelist in the roundtable "Policies focusing on Gender Equality in Applied Math across Latin American Countries" Latin American Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
-2022 Panelist in session on Walking the Diversity Talk: How to Operationalize Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity in Parental Leave Policies at the Manufacturing & Service Operations Management conference, Germany (on-line participation).
- Since 2014 member of the "colectivo de mujeres matemáticas" (https://www.mujeres-matematicas.cl) We promote the visibility of female mathematicians in Chile and Latin America, through talks to general public, expositions in museums and meeting. Among them:
* Organization of the II Meeting of Mathematical Women in Latin America,
* Responsible of the Exhibition Portraits of Mathematics that has been shown in the more important chilean museums,
* Organized panel to discuss the gender gap in mathematics along.
